Jakarta –
Old cars like the Isuzu Panther can still be made fresher. In fact, some Isuzu Panther owners want to change their car’s transmission from manual to automatic.
Changing the manual transmission to automatic can be done. The MStar workshop in the Bekasi area, which is well known among Panther lovers, is capable of converting a manual Panther into an automatic one.
“There are just people who (ask to change the Panther transmission from manual to automatic). It can be (handled at the MStar workshop),” said Mustar, an MStar workshop employee who is located on Jl. Inspection of Kalimalang, Gandasari, Cibitung, Bekasi Regency, West Java.
According to Mustar, many Panther owners keep their cars for various reasons. Whether for historical reasons or even bringing good luck, Panther fans are reluctant to sell their cars. It is those who maintain the car and need driving comfort who usually ask Mustar to change the manual transmission to automatic.
“So now is the time for automatics, using the manual is tired. But with him the car is not sold, it is maintained. So that’s why it continues to be made good, good. Maybe the car is the memory of the parents, or the car brings luck,” Mustar told detikcom.
Mustar himself has handled manual to automatic Panther conversions several times. The process of changing the manual transmission to automatic usually takes a month.
“All transmissions are replaced, the system is different. If there are all the spare parts, it actually doesn’t take long, it takes two weeks to complete. It’s just that sometimes you have to wait in line with the spare parts, which is a bit long,” Mustar explained.
Mustar said that the replacement of the manual to automatic transmission on the Isuzu Panther uses a dislodged component. Because, if you use a new automatic transmission component, the price can soar.
“The transmission will be exactly that, the Kijang 2,000 cc car, or the Kijang Diesel, the Kijang Capsule. Not an Innova, yes, the contents of the spare parts are the same as the Innova, only the outside is a bit different. It’s still easy to find,” he said.
So, how much does it cost to change the manual transmission to automatic on the Isuzu Panther? According to Mustar, this is in accordance with the type of automatic that consumers choose.
“So there are two kinds of automatic changes. Some are fully mechanical, some are mixed with computers, TCM (transmission control module). If it’s fully mechanical, it’s around Rp. 15-20 (million). Only if you use a computer, later it can be more Rp. 30 (million),” he explained.
